Topic:Lipids
Lipids in horses are a diverse group of organic compounds that include fats, oils, waxes, and certain vitamins. These molecules are essential components of cell membranes and serve as a major energy source for equine metabolism. In horses, lipids are involved in various physiological processes, including energy storage, insulation, and the synthesis of hormones. The study of lipids encompasses their biochemical properties, metabolic pathways, and their impact on equine health and performance. Research in this area investigates the role of dietary lipids, the effects of lipid metabolism on equine diseases, and the implications of lipid profiles in athletic horses. This page compiles peer-reviewed research studies and scholarly articles that explore the biochemical roles, metabolic regulation, and health implications of lipids in horses.
Lipid Inclusions in L Cells Associated with Venezuelan Equine Encephalomyelitis Virus Infection. Hardy, Frank M. (Fort Detrick, Frederick, Md.), and David Arbiter. Lipid inclusions in L cells associated with Venezuelan equine encephalomyelitis virus infection. J. Bacteriol. 89:1101-1103. 1965.-Venezuelan equine encephalomyelitis (VEE) virus has been shown to induce changes of lipid components within the L cell. Lipid inclusions in the form of dark granular bodies were observed in the L cell after aqueous osmium tetroxide fixation and Sudan black staining. Microscopic examination of cells as early as 8 hr after infection with VEE virus showed an increase in the concentration of these inclu...
Component acids of mare’s milk fat. The milk fat from 20 mares on pasture and 9 stable-fed mares was analysed. It is richer in C18:3 than the milk of other domestic species. This was especially marked when the mares were on pasture and were not given any grain. Further, mare’s milk fat is rich in fatty acids containing less than 14 carbon atoms in their chains. Das Milchfett von 20 Stuten auf der Weide und von 9 stallgefütterten Stuten wurde analysiert. Es enthält mehr C18:3 als das Milchfett anderer Haustiere. Dieses war speziell ausgeprägt für Stuten die auf der Weide gingen und kein Getreide bekamen. Das Milchfett der S...

Distribution of the fatty acids in the liver lipoids of the horse. IN the liver lipids of animals which have so far been examined it has been found1 that the phospholipids, as compared with the glycerides, contain less hexadecenoic acid but more stearic and highly unsaturated C20 and C22 acids, the latter being derived from dietary linoleic and linolenic acids2. Phospholipids, moreover, are generally regarded as selecting the more highly unsaturated acids from the diet3.
Pantothenic acid studies with the horse. On the basis of studies with Shetland ponies it appears that a daily intake of 38 µg of pantothenic acid per kg. of body weight is adequate to permit normal growth and health in the horse.
The amount of pantothenic acid excreted by the renal pathway is influenced by the levels ingested. On the level of 150 µg daily per kg. of body weight 41 per cent was excreted in the urine whereas when the level ingested was 38 µg per kg. of body weight only 12.7 percent was excreted by the renal pathway.
Nutritional composition, fatty acids profile and immunoglobulin G concentrations of mare milk of the Chilean Corralero horse breed. The objective of the present study was to characterize the nutritional composition, fatty acid profile, and IgG concentration of the milk produced by Chilean Corralero horse (CCH) mares from breeding farms located in southern Chile. Forty-five milk samples were collected from three of the biggest breeding farms (coded as A, B and C) specialized in breeding and selection of CCH in Chile (15 mares sampled per farm). Farms differed in days in milk (DIM). A negative association between DIM and ash, milk protein, milk solids, saturated fatty acids (SFA), and gross energy (GE) was found, whereas DIM...
